YORK here we come! That’s what the Clitheroe and District Cub Scouts seem to be thinking as they wait eagerly to climb aboard their special train. The day out was organised by Clitheroe Scout Training Committee. About 210 Cubs, 37 adults and leaders and 10 small children with their parents went along. After arriving in York the party visited the railway museum and saw various exhibits from the old “steam age.” This was followed by a trip on the River Ouse at Lendal Bridge in four large boats, where the lads ate their packed lunches. The afternoon began with a look round the castle museums where old dungeons, military uniforms and arts and crafts were on show. The boys split into groups to explore the Roman wall, the old streets of York and the Minister. Tea was taken in the Abbey grounds and a series of games were played before it was time to make the


journey home. In charge of the party throughout the day were Mrs Helen Crompton, district badge secretary; Mrs Christine Capewell, assistant District Commissioner of Cub Scouts; Mr David Scott, Ribblesdale group Scout leader; and Mr Alban' Snape, assistant District Commissioner of Scouts.
